I loved the first Rigney-Russell collaboration, but not the other two,
especially not the electric guitar on "Nature Boy."

Dear Marek:
Funny how ears hear differently. While "Nature Boy" is not strictly an  
OKOM tune,I included the link because of the beauty of Jonathan's solo  
which starts at aboutthe 3:20 mark of the below link

IMO it is an extraordinary solo for any jazz violinist, let alone one  
of J's' youth.

The advanced harmonics, the new improvised melody, the feeling. Wow!!!

I wish I could do as well.

Cheers
